Up for sale is my RB30D long motor.

I had this built at MRC Dyno services in Castle Hill planning to put it into my R31. Unfortunately funds dried up and my wife and I are expecting our first child in September and I'm looking to start a new business so my plans of building an epic R31 will have to remain a dream for now.

I've looked high and low but I'm still missing the first and last invoices for $1500 and more than $2000 respectively, I will keep looking for these over the next few days.

I bought the RB26 head for $1200 and it came with adjustable HKS cam gears and cams. I cannot confirm the model numbers or the specs of the cams but they did have HKS on them, I asked the engine builder to measure them but he forgot.

The block is an A8 (VL turbo) block, static compression is set to 8.8:1 (fairly high compaired to a lot of 26/30's) and the conrods have been linished and shot peened. The motor is 'zeroed' and ready for completion.

Parts included:

inlet plenum

multiple throttle bodies

HKS inlet gaskets (throttle chamber gaskets)

HKS exhaust gaskets

Not included:

a few nuts and bolts (including 6 cam gear bolts)

flywheel

no computer or electrics

no looms

no exhaust manifold

most AAC stuff (hoses, aac valve, air chamber, etc) see image below:

In its current state, it would ideally suit someone with an RB26 looking to upgrade or swap out a blown RB26 or anyone willing to spend the time chasing up the bits (a lot of the missing bits people seem to bin when they strip their motors, you've just got to find someone before they throw them away - SAU would be a good hang out for this)

This motor and my plans for it were mentioned in my build thread if you want more back ground info:

I've spent close to $12,000 in total.

No offers below $9,500, my loss is your gain.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
